Canoe area wilderness fishing trip catch of the day

Fishing for walleye, smallmouth bass, lake trout, and northern pike is great in the BWCA.

After we sort through the choices with you we will custom plan your trip, including a complete route briefing and a review of the fish you will encounter — lures to use, locations, depths, etc.

Includes: Overnight accommodations in a bunk house before and after your canoe trip, plus 2 breakfasts and 2 dinners at the lodge Bistro, 5 nights/6 days of complete outfitting, all maps, transportation to and from the canoe landing, showers with a complete route briefing.

BWCA fishing facts...

Family fishing in the canoe area wilderness

Fishing in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area is fun for the whole family.

The best smallmouth bass fishing is in late May through late June or early July. In September they move to deeper water and form schools making them more difficult to find.

Northern Pike is one of the easiest fish to catch as it readily takes lures or bait. The biggest pike are caught in late summer or fall.

Walleye is an impressive fish and the most prized of all Minnesota fish due to its thick, white fillets and elusive nature.

Lake trout are easiest to catch in early spring and fall. Paddle trolling with a shiny spoon is an effective approach.
